Diseased?! You sound like PETA. It may be abnormally enlarged, but "disease" is a word with meaning.

Disease is a word with meaning, and fois gras clearly fills that meaning:

disease - A pathological condition of a part, organ, or system of an organism resulting from various causes, such as infection, genetic defect, or environmental stress, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs or symptoms.

BTW, the comparable condition in humans is called "Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease".
